1-hydroxy-2-(substituted anilino)quinolizinium bromides

ABSTRACT

1 - HYDROXY - 2 - (SUBSTITUTED ANILINO)QUINOLIZINIUM BROMIDES ARE USEFUL AS ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AGENTS.

United States Patent Office 3,780,048 Patented Dec. 18, 1973 ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE 1 hydroxy 2 (substituted anilino)quinolizinium bromides are useful as anti-inflammatory agents.

This invention relates to l-hydroxy-Z-(substituted anilino)quinolizinium compounds particularly those of the wherein R is methoxy, ethoxy, phenoxy or allyloxy and R is hydrogen or methoxy.

These compounds are anti-inflammatory agents. When administered perorally to rats in an aqueous suspension foilowed by the subplantar injection of 0.05 ml. of a 1% solution of carrageen (Viscarin) into the hindfoot of said rats, they cause a marked reduction in edema. This useful anti-inflammatory effect in a standardized test for detecting such property makes them desirable agents in counteracting inflammation.

The method for preparing the compounds of this invention which is presently preferred consists in reacting 1 acetoxy 2 bromoquinolizinium bromide with the appropriate aniline in a suitable solvent such as isopropanol and advantageously under the influence of heat.

In order that this invention may be readily understood by and available to those skilled in the art, the following examples are set forth.

EXAMPLE I 1-hydroxy-2- (p-phenetidino) quinolizinium bromide hydrobromide To a solution of 1-acetoxy-2-bromoquinolizinium bromide (30.0 g., 0.09 mole) in isopropanol (600 ml.) was added p-phenetidin (24.0 g., 0.18 mole). The stirred mixture was boiled under reflux for 4 hours, during which time solid had precipitated from solution. The cooled mixture Was filtered and washed with ether. The product as yellow needles weighed 37.0 g. (97%). Recrystallization from alcohol-ether provided yellow needles which melted at 161-162".

EXAMPLE II 2-(p-anisidino -1-hydroxyquinolizinium bromide hydrobromide Into a 500 ml., 3-neck flask was placed a mixture of 1 acetoxy 2 bromoquinolizinium bromide (12.0 g., 0.035 mole), p-anisidine (9.6 g., 0.078 mole) and isopropanol (240 ml.) The stirred solution was boiled under reflux for 4.5 hours. After cooling in an ice bath the reaction mixture was treated with ethyl acetate to induce and dried at 63 Recrystallization from isopropanol/ ethyl acetate provided a pale yellow powder which melted at crystallization. The yellow solid (11.0 g., 74%) was removed by filtration, washed with ether and ethyl acetate Analysis.Calcd. for C H BrN O -HBr (percent): C, "44.88; H, 3.77; N, 6.54; Br, 37.33. Found (percent): C, 44.70, 44.74; H, 3.70, 3.83; N, 6.57, 6.63; Br, 37.16, 37.07.

EXAMPLE III 1-hydroxy-2- p-phenoxyanilino) quinolizinium bromide hydrobromide 2- (p-allyloxyanilino)-1-hydroxyquinolizinium bromide hydrobromide To a solution of 1 acetoxy-2-bromoquinolizinium bromide (10.0 g., 0.029 mole) in isopropanol (200 ml.) was added p-allyloxyaniline (11.0 g., 0.068 mole). The stirred mixture was boiled under reflux for 4.5 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled at room temperature overnight, and the solid was removed by filtration and washed with ether, providing 5.0 g. of product. The supernatant solution was treated with ether and refrigerated, providing another 5.0 g. of product, making the total yield 10.0 g. (77%). Recrystallization from isopropanol produced a light yellow powder melting at 127.
